What reading level is Democracy in America volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It must be admittedthat democratic laws tend greatly to increase the number of landowners, and to diminish that of farming tenants. Yet what takes place in theUnited States is much less attributable to the institutions of thecountry than to the country itself. In America land is cheap, and anyonemay easily become a landowner; its returns are small, and its producecannot well be divided between a landowner and a farmer. Americatherefore stands alone in this as well as in many other respects, and... itwould be a mistake to take it as an example.
I believe that in democratic as well as in aristocratic countries therewill be landowners and tenants, but the connection existing between themwill be of a different kind. In aristocracies the hire of a farm is paidto the landlord, not only in rent, but in respect, regard, and duty;in democracies the whole is paid in cash. When estates are divided andpassed from hand to hand, and the permanent connection which existedbetween families and the soil is dissolved, the landowner and the tenantare only casually brought into contact.
